Customer Reviews

Addlepatingly amazing--

I got lost in this book--in a good way. There's so much there: it is sometimes hilarious (1st Chapter-"Golf is From Stan" had me laughing out loud in the coffee shop); other times touching and profound (chapters--I forget which ones--on golf guru Whatney Woods and final chapter. This book is obscene, irreverent, deeply spiritual and, as I said, very funny. I'll probably go back to it often.

Book review on "Golf Is From Satan"

I found this book very enjoyable. The author takes you on a fun yet thought provoking journey. It is an interesting mixture of deep thought, spiritual conflict and pure mullarky. I especially enjoyed the golf sonnets that introduce each chapter. T.T. Patterson offers a creative, yet twisted perspective on the game so many of us love and hate. I highly recommend this book for golfers and non-golfers alike.
